Tweetable Quotes“We want somebody to learn in exchange for their forty-five minutes of tuning in. It’s still a hurdle to get somebody from stranger to listener. They gotta find their podcast app. They gotta search for your specific show. They gotta scroll down to the specific episode you’re talking about. They gotta find a forty-five minute gap in their day to actually tune in. It’s a big ask and so the hook for that has got to be really compelling.” (22:36) (Nick)
“Side Hustle Nation is a show that people hopefully graduate out of at some point, where they find their idea and then they go off and do that thing.” (24:58) (Nick)
“A podcast by itself is not a business. It can be a perfectly viable content marketing arm for a business. And shifting that was a huge inflection point. And what that looked like in practice, in my case, was creating episode-specific lead magnets.” (33:02) (Nick)
“Fatherhood has softened me in a lot of ways. And it’s aged me horribly in a lot of ways. They just know how to push your buttons. But, at the same time, it’s super rewarding to watch them learn, and grow, and sponge up the world around them.” (48:14) (Nick)
“Along those notes of dealing with failure, the big thing is positioning any new project in your mind as an experiment. I find, for me, that that really softens the blow of the inevitable failures that come along the way.” (1:00:41) (Nick)
